Effect Transparency

[Rerem115]

A lot of the time, TiTS does a great job at telling the player how their gear or their perks change stats/gameplay; you take X% less damage, or you regain X amount of energy, etc. However, there are also a few that don't properly explain how they work:

Cloak and Dagger--Doesn't tell how much evasion is gained
Riposte--Ditto Cloak and Dagger
Class Perk Damage in general-- all we get is low, moderate, great, or scaled with Int (but not saying what the scaling is)
Drone Damage scaling--scaled with level, but don't know the numbers

Now, I know it's possible to figure out most of these through trial and error, and I have. Cloak and Riposte have alas, hehe, evaded my studies; it's almost impossible to test their numbers, and nothing on the wiki or Github has turned up anything useful. If the numbers are super complicated and hard to explain, fine; if it doesn't fit on the tooltip, it doesn't fit on the tooltip. But, if anybody knows where I can find the calculations, I'd really appreciate it.

Cloak and Dagger is 5%, Riposte is 15%. They're found in the creature file, along with all the other evasion stuff IIRC. Drones are complicated a bit by them having slightly different multipliers, but they're all pretty close to small 0-3 (IIRC) damage along with +1 per level. If you have the attack drone perk, and a drone equipped (i.e. not the default one) they do an additional 1 damage per level. CombatAttacks is where most or all of the activated abilities are kept; passive things like sneak attack or how much bonus melee damage charged weapon deals are in calculateDamage. Hope that helps.

Hopefully edited for the next release.

The bonus evasion chance values for "Riposte", "Cloak and Dagger" and "Stealth Field Generator" should be displayed now. If there are any other particular perks with static values that should be displayed, do mention them.

As far as drones, all accessory drones have their own variable values which is hard to display outright without needing to rework the system and/or item to count the damage value separately from the actual attack function. However, the "Attack Drone" perk alone, without a drone accessory, should display a range of values in the stats (primarily electric damage).
